Author's note

Viking is a free Celtic gothic caps font with sharp wedge cuts, high-arching strokes, and a distinctly medieval cadence. The letters feel carved rather than written, with pointed joins and sweeping curves that give even simple forms a rune-like, ceremonial tone.

It suits pub signs, festival posters, book covers, game title cards, and heritage branding where a historic mood needs firm, stylized lettering. As a free font, it also works well for short headlines, chapter openers, and monograms, since those dramatic angled cuts and long curling strokes carry plenty of character without needing many letters.
